The Arizona Diamondbacks celebrate a franchise‑record‑tying three Rawlings Gold Glove winners for 2026—catcher Gabriel Moreno (second award), outfielder Corbin Carroll and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (first). Their trio joins the team’s 14 total Gold Gloves, tied for second league‑wide behind the Cubs. All three are now candidates for the NL Platinum Glove, with fan voting open through Nov. 5. The piece also flags offseason questions: the health and possible position shift for veteran Nolan Arenado, Ketel Marte’s dip in production and trade value, and the team’s broader roster moves amid a looming CBA deadline. Additional notes cover Merrill Kelly’s Halloween cleat giveaway and Japanese players entering MLB’s posting system.

The White Sox’s first hope for an individual honor went by the boards this awards season, as their lone Gold Glove nominee came away from the Rawlings announcement empty-handed. Seattle’s Cole Young, not Chase Meidroth, ended up receiving the award as the American League’s top defensive second baseman. It’s hard to say whether Meidroth was…

The Chicago Bears head to Seattle for a Week 8 showdown that could foreshadow an NFC Championship clash. Seattle’s newest All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson is expected to bolster the Seahawks’ line and give quarterback Sam Darnold a cleaner pocket, while his impact on the run game could trouble the Bears. On defense, safety Nick Emmanwori—deployed as a hybrid S/LB/edge—poses the biggest threat, using his size and speed to disrupt any offense. The article highlights key Seattle playmakers such as Devon Witherspoon, Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy Jr., and pass rushers Derrick Hall and Uchenna Nwosu, emphasizing how Chicago must neutralize Emmanwori and protect against a disciplined Seattle unit.
The Monday Morning Bag Skate thread highlights the latest hockey buzz, focusing on Blackhawks trade targets as they eye scoring wingers, while also noting Anton Frondell’s recent surge after a line change and power‑play boost. The post recaps a high‑scoring showdown where the Bruins edged the Blackhawks 5‑4. Readers get quick insights into Chicago’s roster moves and the game’s key moments.
The Bulls’ 32‑point first‑half collapse in Boston sparked a call for lineup changes. Coach Tiago Splitter’s post‑game locker‑room notes blame a defensive “train wreck” involving Josh Giddy, Matas Buzelis and rookie Caleb Wilson, while praising Wilson’s improved effort. The analysis argues Giddy’s limited impact and suggests benching him for Tre Jones, who offers better defense and ball security. Development remains a priority for Wilson and Buzelis, with veteran trade value a secondary focus. A potential tweak may arrive next game as Nic Claxton joins practice, but the author cautions against reactionary moves.
The Baltimore Ravens are reportedly eyeing Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent as they grapple with a quarterback crisis after injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in a 36-10 loss to Buffalo. Bagent, praised by Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle—who coached him in Chicago—offers familiarity with the offense and strong study habits. Chicago coach Matt Nagy and OC Bill Taylor also commend his preparation and quick grasp of systems, citing solid performances like 268 yards against the Jets. While the Ravens have shown interest, no offer exists yet, and the Bears must weigh Bagent’s depth value against potential draft compensation.

After a dominant win over the Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions move to 5‑2, sitting just a game behind the Vikings in the NFC North and climbing to the No. 2 spot in the Wild Card race. The Lions now hold the division’s best 2‑0 record against NFC rivals, but a Chicago Bears victory over Seattle on Monday could push the Bears ahead in overall win percentage. The NFC North remains historically competitive—every team is two games over .500 through Week 8. Meanwhile, the 49ers lead the conference at 6‑1, and the wild‑card field is tight with the Lions, Bears and Packers battling for the top three spots. A Week 15 Lions win in Minnesota could secure the division tiebreaker.

The trade deadline buzz centers on two Bears assets. Baltimore, reeling from Lamar Jackson’s IR move and Tyler Huntley’s turf‑toe injury, has reportedly contacted Chicago about backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, who earns $4 million and fits Ben Johnson’s system. Meanwhile, NFL insiders suggest the Bears may still be shopping defensive edge talent, with Jeffery Simmons already acquired and a possible Khalil Mack deal looming despite the Chargers’ 0‑7 start and Mack’s limited recent snap count. Chicago faces decisions before its Monday Night Football clash with Seattle and the November 10 deadline.

The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards crown two Chicago Cubs as defensive standouts: center fielder Pete Crow‑Armstrong wins his second consecutive Gold Glove, beating Andy Pages (Dodgers) and Michael Harris (Braves), while third baseman Alex Bregman secures his second overall (first with the Cubs) after his 2024 Astros win, becoming the first Cubs third baseman honored since Ron Santo in 1968. Top prospect Josiah Hartshorn also grabs a minor‑league Gold Glove at first base. Fellow Cubs Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson fall short, and fans can now vote for the Platinum Glove.
Cole Young clinches his first Rawlings Gold Glove at second base, marking the Seattle Mariners' 45th team award and the franchise's first at the position since Brett Boone in 2004. The 22‑year‑old outpaced White Sox’s Chase Meidroth and Royals’ Michael Massey, leading AL second basemen with 16 Defensive Runs Saved and posting a .990 fielding percentage, the third‑best in Mariners history. Young appeared in a career‑high 160 games, anchoring an otherwise shaky infield. His win makes him only the third Mariner ever to earn a Gold Glove at second base and the second under‑22 recipient, joining Ken Griffey Jr. in that elite company.
The Knicks enter the first full week of November (Nov 2‑7) with a 2‑4 record and a three‑game schedule that starts easy and ends tough. They host the struggling Brooklyn Nets on Monday, hoping Jalen Brunson’s mid‑range game and a strong rebounding effort can secure a win. On Wednesday they face the Chicago Bulls, a team they beat 133‑127 on the road just a week earlier, though the Bulls’ defensive woes may make a repeat comeback unlikely. The week closes with a road test against a 4‑2 Cleveland Cavaliers squad featuring Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and James Harden, where Knicks’ center depth could be tested. The outcomes will gauge New York’s early season trajectory.
Matt Olson and Mauricio Dubon earn Gold Gloves for the Atlanta Braves, marking Olson's fourth career award and Dubon's third.

The Braves also had nominees Chris Sale and Michael Harris, though Harris lost to Cubs' Pete Crow Armstrong. The awards were presented Sunday night, highlighting Atlanta's defensive depth.
